Abstract: A highly efficient and practical one-pot sequential process, consisting of an organocatalytic enantioselective Friedel-Crafts-type addition of 4-nonsubstituted pyrazolones to isatin-derived N-Boc ketimines and a subsequent diastereoselective fluorination of the pyrazolone moiety, is developed. This reaction sequence delivers novel oxindole pyrazolone adducts featuring vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters with a 0.5 mol % catalyst loading in high yield with excellent enantio- and diastereocontrol. Notably, chloro, bromo, and thioether functionalities can be readily incorporated, rendering a broad diversity of the product.
